HERE'S A TASTE OF WHAT YOU'LL BE LEARNING AND WHY THIS COURSE IS SO IMPORTANT
Watch below to learn more about the course and also get an inside look into the lessons!
Understanding the fundamentals of Revit is critically important
Learning the proper ways to build your models, safeguarding your files from potential accidents, and taking advantage of the complexities of the program is critical to helping you develop better models, faster.
The skills taught in this course will save you hours of frustration from having to keep making the same changes over and over, help you learn how to make your models more efficient, and learn how to expedite your drawing process.
How is this course different from others?
Instead of jumping from one feature to another, this course is designed to bring you through an entire project from start to finish, gradually introducing new skills and techniques along the way. Nothing is skipped over in this process and no assumptions of your skills are made in this course. Together, we’ll design and model a house, going through the entire process step-by-step. This course was designed to be taken in sequential order since each lesson builds on one another as we cover new information, techniques, skills, and terminology. The skills learned in this course carry over to any type of project you build in Revit.

You’re looking to learn more advanced skills
If you’re more advanced with Revit, I recommend you take my Working Faster and Smarter in Revit course.
WHAT WILL I BE LEARNING?
In this course, we'll go step-by-step through the entire process of designing and building a house and addition, all the way from setting up the program and learning about how to work efficiently, to constructing and detailing the house. We’ll start by setting up your file, getting comfortable with the tools, learning different ways to use drawing tools, and then we’ll go through the process of building the model and setting up drawing sheets. By the end of this course, you should have a very strong understanding of how to use the program, how to protect your drawings, how to work faster and smarter, and how to bring a project from conception to completion.
A shortlist of topics we'll cover:
Learning the user interface
Using and creating keyboard shortcuts
Utilizing reference planes
Phasing and organizing views
Type properties vs. instance properties
Constructing a house from the foundation to the roof to the interior finishes to the exterior finishes
Create basic custom families
Design and print sheets (aka drawing sets)
To get the most out of this course, I highly encourage you to model along with me so you can really grasp the concepts to use the program efficiently and proficiently, and are able to apply what you learn to your own projects.
What’s included in the COURSE?
100+ Video lessons totaling 10+ hours
Revit resource files
Custom Revit family files
My customized Revit keyboard shortcut XML file
Guides - such as my keyboard shortcut guide
I’ve been teaching students how to use Revit for 7 years.
Here’s what they’re saying:
Lesson Outline
Lesson 1: Introduction
This lesson lays out the foundation for the course so you know exactly what to expect and tools you’ll need for the course.
Lesson 2: User Interface
Here we'll go through the user interface so you can get comfortable with the terminology and how to find the tools you need.
Lesson 3: Wall Basics
In this lesson we'll go over basics of using the wall tool, wall properties, using reference planes, etc.
Lesson 4: Phasing
Here we'll cover all things phasing and how to organize your views.
Lesson 5: Floors
In this lesson we’ll explore different ways to add floors and floor openings.
Lesson 6: Roofs
In lesson six, we'll look at how to create a variety of roof types and the benefits of some modeling techniques over others.
Lesson 7: Stairs
In this lesson, we'll go through all of the stair tool options and learn to create custom stairs.
Lesson 8: Railing Basics
Here we’ll explore the railing tool, try out different railing types, and learn how to add railings to stairs.
Lesson 9: Ceilings
In this lesson we’ll work with automatic ceilings, sketch ceilings, and sloped ceilings.
Lesson 10: Components
In lesson ten, we'll start adding doors, windows, and other general components. We’ll also dive into creating our first custom parametric family.
Lesson 11: Topography
In this lesson we’ll add topography, learn how to slope the grade, add materials, apply subregions, and building pads, etc.
Lesson 12: Roof Detailing
Here, we'll detail the roof fascias, eaves, and eave returns.
Lesson 13: Exterior Stairs
In this lesson, we'll model exterior stairs and explore more in-depth stair type options.

A computer/laptop - capable of running Windows with enough RAM and storage and decent enough graphics card to run Revit - see more about my computer recommendations here, along with workarounds for Mac users.
A mouse - preferably one with a scroll wheel for zooming
Autodesk Revit - I will be using Revit LT for the entire course to show you just how powerful it is. However, your specific needs may require you to use a more feature-filled version of Revit. Click here to figure out which one you need.
You will need version 2021 of Revit to access the Revit resource files.
